YOUR FAVORITE LOGO TV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Know Your Instagrammer: Mike Kelton

"Instagram has been great at gaining an audience of middle aged women living in Ohio. They love me and I love them."

We're kind of obsessed with Mike Kelton around here.

Perhaps it's our affinity for funny guys, or tall guys, or red heads, or maybe it's just a combination of all three.

Born in Westchester County, NY, Kelton knew from an early age he wanted to be someone without a day job.

After graduating from University of Michigan with a degree in musical theater, Kelton moved to New York City, quickly booking gigs at The City Grill and a catering company that he forgot the name of.

Next up, Kelton will star in the Logo digital series, #TheSoapbox, premiering tomorrow on LogoTV.com.

Below, we chat with Mike Kelton/@mikeketon.


NewNowNext: W​hat's the difference between Mike Kelton and @mikekelton?

Mike Kelton: Mike Kelton doesn't get as many 'likes' but is much better at human interaction and binge drinking. @mikekelton is more focused on showing off his love handles and finding stupid stuff on the internet to share with people that care about the insignificant things in life. Mike Kelton has to wear sunscreen in the sun whereas @mikekelton just puts a filter onto a sunburned body and he looks tan, maybe. They are friends and honestly need each other.

How has Instagram benefited you as a comedian?

Instagram is so stupid, it's genius. As our attention spans get shorter, so do our means at entertaining or engaging and audience. Instagram is heaven because sometimes, you just need to let the world know that, 'It's Monday, and I feel like a piece of shit' so you Instagram dog shit and say #MondayVibes and then all is right with the world. Instagram has been great at gaining an audience of middle aged women living in Ohio. They love me and I love them.

What's the most bogus filter?

HEFE FOR SURE! I am sick of your post workout or post #crossfit pictures. WE GET IT, YOU ACTUALLY GO TO THE GYM. But what kills me is you enhancing your body with HEFE. I would love to see a picture of you sitting with fat rolls eating a grilled cheese with maybe #nofilter. THAT I can get on board with. Enough with the HEFE and enough with the post-workout selfies. Drink a protein shake, it's much more productive than the 30 minutes you took to curate that picture of your stomach in a mirror at the New York Sports Club in Chelsea.

Who's your favorite funny person to follow on Insta?

Well, NOT THE FAT JEWISH, byeeeeeeeeeeee. (This will change your life so get ready). It is not a person but a society of women that call themselves the @REDHATSOCIETY and they are 'An International Sisterhood dedicated to fun, Friendship, Freedom, Fulfillment and Fitness'. Basically, it is like a real life version of the Golden Girls on Instagram but they wear big red hats IN EVERY PICTURE. It is everything. Literally, go follow them now. Also, I want to point out that they currently have 1085 followers and it is my goal to make them a thing.

What movie do you never get sick of watching?

Clueless and Hook.

What are your thoughts on Mayor de Blasio's attempt to ban toplessness in Times Square?

He should shut up and let tits live.

What's your favorite fast food indulgence?

Wendy's! Specifically, dipping their perfect french fries into the chocolate frosty and calling it a day.

If you could trade places with anyone who's been in a movie with Denise Richards who would it be and why?

Oh my God, this question! Neve Campbell because I want to make out with her and I dream of being a lesbian in my next life.

Do you think Mel Gibson can make a full-blown comeback?

Who is Mel Gibson?

What do you like to do when you're not on Instagram?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question?
